Cripsy Banana Chips

Banana chips are a delightful, crunchy snack that’s easy to make and perfect for satisfying your cravings. They’re naturally sweet and versatile, ideal for munching on their own or adding to your favorite dishes. Making banana chips at home allows you to control the ingredients, ensuring a healthier option compared to store-bought versions.

Ingredients

2 Bananas: Choose firm, slightly underripe bananas for the best texture.

2 Eggs: Acts as a binding agent and gives a crispy texture.

20 g Cornstarch: Helps to achieve a crispy finish by absorbing excess moisture.

How to Make Banana Chips

Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into thin, even rounds (about 1/8 inch thick).

Prepare the Coating: In a bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed. Place the cornstarch in a separate bowl.

Coat the Bananas: Dip each banana slice in the beaten eggs, then lightly coat with cornstarch, shaking off any excess.

Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Place the coated banana slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, making sure they are in a single layer without overlapping.

Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the banana slices for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through to ensure even baking.

Cool and Enjoy: Let the chips cool on the baking sheet. They will continue to crisp up as they cool. Store them in an airtight container for up to a week.

Tips for the Best Banana Chips

Even Slicing: Use a sharp knife to ensure even slices, which will bake more uniformly.

Proper Coating: Make sure to evenly coat each banana slice in egg and cornstarch for the best crispy texture.

Experiment: You can add a sprinkle of salt or spices to the cornstarch for additional flavor.
